Best business loans using an EIN

An EIN alone does not qualify a business. Underwriting reads the personal FICO of the 50%+ owner alongside the bank statements.

✓ Checking what you qualify for does not affect your credit score.

What "EIN only" usually means

Most offers marketed that way are credit-builder products, secured cards or vendor trade lines — useful for building a business credit file, but not capital.

Genuine EIN-only lending at meaningful size generally requires substantial revenue history and collateral.

What is actually read here

The personal score of the majority owner, and three months of business bank statements.

The minimum FICO is 500. The 650/600/550 tiers are product criteria that decide which product a file is read against, not a floor on the business. Scores in the 500s are placed routinely and are read on revenue, deposit consistency and time in business rather than on the score alone.

Average daily balance of $5,000, or 10% of monthly revenue, whichever is greater. Up to 3 negative days a month, 9 per six months and up to 6 NSFs a month, 24 per six months.

Building the business file anyway

A DUNS number is free, and paying reporting trade lines on time builds a PAYDEX score. It changes what you can get in two years, not this month.

Restricted regardless of the numbers: new residential construction, residential remodelling, long-distance (TL or LTL) trucking, used car dealers, and real estate agents, brokers, managers or lessors. Funding in all 50 US states.

Questions

Can I get funded with just an EIN?

Not here. The personal score of the 50%+ owner is read alongside the statements.

Do you check business credit?

Personal FICO is what the tiers reference.
